Abstract
NASA research into the pathophysiology of microgravity was based on a simple insight: that the physiological effects of human space travel were virtually identical to the adjustments the body makes when lying down. This is the same environment as that of the human foetus in the first 22 weeks of gestation after which the uterine environment becomes a prelude to adaptations to the force of gravity.
